Predators - New Posters

Two new posters for the upcoming Predators movie.

Loving the tagline for the second one: "They are the most dangerous killers on the planet. But this is not our planet..."


A-Team Toys - First Official Pic...

This pic below shows the 3 3/4-inch line of new A-Team figures being produced by Jazwares (I believe Tomy are doing them in the UK from what I saw at this years Toy Fair) and not only features Face, Hannibal, Murdock and B.A. but also the awesome and very well known van too.

From what I can see these figures are pretty accurate to the actors features but it'll be more interesting to see what the 12 inch versions look like when their pics get released. For now you'll have to make do with this single pic of the small versions!




And just to add to the A-Taem fun, here's a poster and clip from the movie to get you all hyped up!



Scary Maze Trick... Never Gets Boring...

If you've never heard of or seen a video of the "Scary Maze" trick then you simply haven't lived.

I've been an unknowing player of this game myself and I can tell you that I almost had a bloody heart attack from it! But then nobody set me up, I played it online.

This video below is just one of thousands where family members and friends prank people by getting them to play this crazy maze game that, partway through, pops up with a scary witch face and screams at you... This is after it tells you to raise your volume up and stay close to the monitor so that you can concentrate. When I've got more time I'll post up more vids of these pranks as they always make me laugh...


What Happens When Star Wars Geeks From All Over The World Make Their Own Star Wars Clips? Star Wars - Uncut.

Casey Pugh put out a call to the Internet last year: help him remake Star Wars. To contribute, fans signed up for specific 15 second clips from the movie via Casey's website Star Wars Uncut. The instructions were simple — recreate the scene in any way they liked. (And boy did they ever.) Hundreds of clips and 472 fans later, Star Wars: A New Hope was born.

Here's the trailer:

Gatchaman - One Movie I Wanted To See...

Damn it... I hate it when something cool is planned and then destroyed because of money problems.

Imagi Entertainment (the guys who brought us TMNT and Astroboy) went bust recently and their proposed Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets for those of you, like me, that watched the English dubbed version back in the 80's) got canned.

This online teaser trailer shows just how cool it could have been if it went ahead... And yes, I only just came across it, even though it's not new!

Enjoy!

The Last Airbender - New Trailers & Poster.

Two new trailers, one in English, the other in Japanese which is pretty much the same, and a poster.

Liking the look of this one, has the potential of being epic!








Super Cool Shark Sleeping Bag, Space Slug Oven Mitt & Wampa Rug!

I want, I want!!!

OK so the Shark sleeping bag is a little freaky and would probably bring back horrible memories of that first time you watched Jaws, but the Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back) Space Slug oven mitt is a guaranteed piece of essential geek kitchenware and the Wampa Rug is just shear awesomeness.

I WANT!!!






Batman XXX - A Porn Parody? (Safe For Work).

What will the world of adult entertainment come up with next?

Cashing in on the recent popularity of superhero movies, and taking its theme directly from Adam West's 60's Batman T.V. series, Batman XXX is a porn movie like no other... Luckily the trailer and the pics are safe for work as they show nothing that would make you think this was anything other than a fan film (quite a passable one though, I mean did you see the Joker? He looks scarily like the 60's Cesar Romero version! And the guy doing, er I mean 'portraying', Batman is pretty accurate too.). The only thing that gives it away is that Ron Jeremy is in it! Oh and the end credits when all the names appear... Could you have more pornstar-like names? Nope, I think not. QUICK, TO THE BATMOBILE!!!

Anyway, here's the trailer and a few pics:





Star Wars Weekends Advertisement Posters...

Advertising Disney's Hollywood Studio's Star Wars weekends, these 6 posters below are simple yet effective.

My favourites are probably the At-At parking and the old lady being scared of Darth Vader on the train-cart thingy... Although General Grievous holding light-up spinners and balloons with the little kid watching in wonder is a good one too.

Enjoy!







Street Fighter: Legacy - Fan Made Mini Movie...

Created by actor, filmmaker and Street Fighter fan Joey Ansah this mini movie showcasing Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter video gaming series is worth a look if you're a SF nut, especially if you wanna see a couple of the famous special moves done better than the Jean Claude Van-Damme movie!

Enjoy!

Hilarious video of Darth Vader recording a GPS voice!

This recent video of Darth Vader recording his voice for the TomTom GPS device is actually really funny and even though I'm sure it's actually not James Earl Jones doing the voice it's still pretty damn accurate. Loving the "This is how I breath", "Roundabound" and Dark Lord of the Sith singing his own themetune at the end bits...


Fantastic Organ Player Plays Famous Movie Themetunes To Perfection!

The missus pointed something out to me last week which was in one of her latest girlie mags about a Japanese lady who has a penchant for dressing up like a dinosaur and playing the organ... That might seem a little strange but when you actually listen to her play the various pieces of well known music you get blown away at how bloody cool they are and how accurately she's portraying them... That's no ordinary organ, and obviously no ordinary lady either.

Here are a few of her Youtube clips but there are literally dozens more online.













And just for fun here's a bunch of birds singing Darth Vader's Imperial March theme tune from Star Wars!


No Ordinary Family - Trailer = Live Action Incredibles?



After the cancellation of Heroes (who didn't see that happening?) it seems there's now an open slot for a new superhero show and it appears that Disney Pixar's 'The Incredibles' are the inspiration for this newest creation.

No Ordinary Family synopsis:

The Powells are about to go from ordinary to extraordinary. After 16 years of marriage, Jim and Stephanie's relationship lacks the spark it once had, and their family life now consists of balancing work and their two children, leaving little time for family bonding. During a family vacation set up by Jim in an attempt to reconnect, their plane crashes into the Amazon River. But this is where the fun starts for the Powells, as they soon discover that something's not quite right. Each of them now possesses unique and distinct superpowers. But saving and savoring their family life will be equally important, as they try to find purpose for their new powers and embark on a journey to find out what defines and unifies them. The Powells are a totally relatable family who happen to be a little bit amazing.

Michael Chiklis ("The Shield") stars as Jim Powell, Julie Benz ("Dexter") as Stephanie Powell, Romany Malco ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin") as George St. Cloud, Tate Donovan ("Damages") as Mitch McCutcheon, Autumn Reeser as Katie Andrews, Christina Chang as Yvonne Cho, Kay Panabaker as Daphne Powell and Jimmy Bennett as JJ Powell.



This does actually look pretty cool and could be a funny and endearing new superhero series. We'll see how it does when it's released later this year.


Young Justice Cartoon - First Pic

This is old news from back in April but as I haven't posted for almost 3 months I thought I'd put this up anyway.

"Young Justice", the teenage super-team from the DC Universe consisting of Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis will air on Cartoon Network sometime in late 2010.

This is the official synopsis:

Being a teenager means proving yourself over and over – to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a teenage super hero? How much harder will it be to prove yourself in a world of super powers, super villains and super secrets? Are you ready to come of age in such a world? Are you ready for life or death rites of passage? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League? The members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—are about to find out. “There’s much more to come from DC Entertainment,” said Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer. “This is just the beginning.”


Personally I'm looking forward to the show. The animation (based on the below pic) looks crisp and clear and it looks to simply be an older version of the wacky Teen Titans cartoon that started a few years back. Shame that the legal wranglings prevented Wonder Girl from appearing and strange that Aqualad is now black... Nothing wrong with that of course, I guess if they were going to choose one of this lot to change race then they'd get the least amount of fan-flack by changing Aqualad!


Batman Under The Red Hood Teaser Trailer...



DC's most recent upcoming animated movie "Batman: Under The Red Hood" is almost upon us and here is the most recent teaser trailer to whet your appetites. Personally I think this looks great and these DC animated features seem to be getting darker and darker... Which for me is a good thing!

GREEN LANTERN NEWS

Apparently the break down for the new movie has been posted.........not the most informative of synopsis' but here it is.




In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Also, more news from the set:

Even taking into
account heavy CGI element of Warner Bros. superhero film, Green Lantern, it's fairly obvious that many practical stunts will be used for the action-oriented film. We've even seen several of the large cranes and harnesses that were on the movie set in New Orleans, LA, during the first few days of filming. If you're familiar with the behind-the-scenes work of action films , you already know that accidents and injuries are bound to happen.

Advanced Dark managed to catch up with one of the busiest stuntmen in hollywood, Jeff Wolfe, back in March. They discussed his roles in several upcoming films, including his visit to the Thor movie set. The other day Wolfe mentioned an injury he sustained while working on Green Lantern. No big deal for Wolfe, apparently, since he's still hard at work.

"Ok Ed... here's the update! Little action sequence last week.. Dislocated left shoulder..Big scene..looks awesome.. all good right? Wrong.. had to do another action sequence 12 hours after they popped it back in and a dialogue scene after!

Ever try punching with a recently dislocated shoulder?..not fun! Truly a glamorous biz right? All good now. No permanent damage, just one hell of a bruised arm!"


Though I'm sure none of us would wish injury on anyone in that dangerous line of work, it's good to see the amount of dedication the Green Lantern crew are putting into making this film a success.

Ouch!!!

THE CAPE - One superhero that appears to kick ass!!

Well this was a surprise.....THE CAPE doesn't appear to suck as bad as I thought when I heard the idea behind it.

"The NBC series is set in the fictional metropolis of Palm City, it follows a innocent cop (Vince Faraday played by David Lyons) who has been framed for a crime that he didn't commit and then left for dead after he's caught. Faraday is eventually saved by a circus ringleader (Keith David) who prepares him with special abilities to defend himself against his new foes. Separated from his wife and son, he tries to clear his name while protecting them from being killed if he was ever reported alive. He takes the law into his own hands by taking the guise of his son's favorite comic book hero, The Cape, after he is given a special suit that has unique capabilities. Vowing to get rid of the corruption that has taken over both the city and the police force, he goes after the person responsible for setting him up and causing his "demise.""


Check out the trailer and interview with the star of the show David Lyons.....and enjoy the sight of Summer Glau on your screens again!!! Laters

SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD - NEW TRAILER

I'm holding out hope for this movie that Edgar Wright's sense of humour has survived the American transition.........whatever anyone thinks we British have a much more subtle sense of humour as oppose to American "toilet" humour.

But this new trailer just makes me wanna see this movie more.

Enjoy

SO, WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?

Actually I don't really care what you guys did today (don't take it personally) cause I met one of THE most beautiful women on TV today............the super sexy Alaina HUFFMAN from SGU.

KW and I ventured to the MCM EXPO today and braved the waves of strange people that choose to dress up like cartoon characters and offer "free hugs". To be fair, if they were attractive women offering these hugs I would probably indulge..........but usually its spotty young men that appear to have never had contact with the opposite sex.

Anyway, back on the subject of Alaina.............WOW!!! This lady not only appears (currently) in two great shows - SGU and SMALLVILLE. Alaina also has had a baby since appearing on SGU, and the current story arch with the pregnacy is REAL!!! The curse of STARGATE (Amanda Tapping also fell pregnant, as did Rachel LUTTRELL when she was in ATLANTIS) struck early on in production and had to be written into the show.

Let me tell you............ALAINA IS HOT!!!!!!!! She has the body of an athlete/supermodel, and is just so nice. I THINK I LOVE HER........just kidding............actually, I DO!!!!

Jamill WALKER ( Sgt GREER) was also a nice guy and was signing at the event too. I'm sure KW will pop a few picks up soon!



All you SGU fans be jealous!!!!!! Just get off your asses and check out MCM EXPO and other events for signings!!

THE GREAT SCI FI PURGE!!!!!! WHAT'S SURVIVED.

The networks have finally stood up and admitted what series they have and have not canned in favour of retarded reality shows!!!

I know we already had some great news with the likes of WAREHOUSE 13, SGU, SMALLVILLE, TRUEBLOOD and SUPERNATURAL already renewed...........but it was the likes of HUMAN TARGET (which I actually kinda like.....give it a chance) FLASHFORWARD, and HEROES.

Now I read on several sites a few months ago that HEROES had already been renewed and was coming back to our screens for a shortened series............not so, as NBC announced it's pulling the plug on it's once superhuman series. Not a surprise, but I've always had a soft spot for HEROES....but all good (and bad) things have to come to an end.

Here's the list of cancelled series.

DOLLHOUSE - Yes, we knew that already but deserves a mention.

HEROES - Love it or hate it, it's done!!!

24 - The gimmic could only last so long.........got bored after day 4.

EASTWICK - Whatever........never had the urge to watch this soap opera in sci fi/fantasy clothing!!!

GHOST WHISPHERER - The only thing I liked about this repetative series was JLH's large rack!!!!! I prefered TRU CALLING!!!

BETTER OFF TED - Another series that hasn't quite hit the UK and heard nowt about it. Might still be worth a look and i'll delievery my verdict.

LEGEND OF THE SEEKER - Looks cheap and nasty..........didn't really like it much.

The one that i'm reeling about is FLASHFORWARD. I know it's a slow burner, but I love this show. Great characters, a flowing story, an arch set out to guide the smaller plot lines........what more could you want. I know that ABC was always gonna flip a coin between FF and V, but was kinda sitting in the "save FF" camp. Oh well, at least some SCI FI survives on ABC this season.

At least we get more FRINGE, V, EUREKA, SUPERNATURAL, CHUCK and our other fav's.......not all bad I guess.

DK.

MORE WALKING DEAD CASTINGS.




So we now have two more of the core cast for THE WALKING DEAD (shooting the pilot episode for the series now!!)

Laurie HOLDEN and Stephen YEUN round out the cast as ANDREA and GLENN along with BRENTHALL, CALLIES, LINCOLN and the others already cast.



I personally think that HOLDEN is far too old (no offence!!) to be ANDREA who is clearly in her early to mid 20's in the comic......HOLDEN is at least 35 and although very pretty, she's just not right for ANDREA.



Oh well, I might be surprised and she might be awesome...........hope so.

More soon!!

ANIMATED GREEN LANTERN ON CN SOON.

It seems like ages since I put up a post (not as long as KW, but getting there!!).....I blame it on a mix of work, XBOX360 and some retard that decided it'd be a good idea to write a virus that took out my PC for a week or so.

Well, back onto the new that is SCI FI!!!

I was well happy to see that Cartoon Network has a GREEN LANTERN animated series in the works, although not so happy to see that it's not scheduled until 2 years after the live action movie comes out..........so I think that means about 2012-2013 before we see an animated Hal Jordan flying around.

Still, it'll be worth the wait............and we'll still get to see what Ryan Reynolds makes of the role in 2011.

I'LL BE BACK!!!

Hi all,

Sincere apologies for my lack of posts and general absence from the blog over the last couple of months. Things are getting very busy with the new shop (or should I now call it "MEGASTORE") and as I enter the final leg of getting the store signed over and setting it up I'm going to be away even more until about September time when we finally hope to open. I will set a day this week to sit down and do these dozens and dozens of posts I have waiting to go up, but if any of you want to fill in for me and update everyone on the world of entertainment whilst I'm absent please let me know.

Please keep coming back as there are still other members who posts here and there every week or so.

FIRST LOOK AT THOR!!!!!

I know it's been out there for a few weeks now, but I'm digging this photo of Chris Hemsworth as THOR.............I think my faith in this movie may be restored!!!

If his turn as George Kirk is anything to go by, this should be good.


DK


CAT SHIT ONE...........NO, SERIOUSLY.




Never before have I seen a cartoon that rocks as much as this trailer........CAT SHIT ONE is a new animated series from ANIMA studios in Japan.




I haven't been into Anime for years, but I think I'll catch this when its out.......bunnies with RPG's and machine guns.........awesome. You have rabbits called Botasky and Packy who kick ass and take names..........it's like modern warfare with fluffy animals.....cool. Check the trailer out (subtitles only, but I'll post an english language one when I find it.)

NOW ALL I NEED IS A BATCYCLE!!!!!

Hot on the heels of the IRON MAN and BOBA FETT crash helmets (courtesy of Andie Tong) I've found pictures of THE best motorbike leathers............ever!!!!!


The only thing not included with this is a helmet (otherwise I'd have it on order already!!!) and utility belt!!!! Looks almost spot on with the armour from Batman Begins!!!!!



And if that wasn't good enough you can also dress like wolverine!!!!........minus the claws!!! Apparently there is a Mark 2 armour IRON MAN suit in the works but no pictures so far....can't wait.

WALKING DEAD NEWS: MORE CASTING ANNOUNCED


Hot on the heels of the last announcement of Jeffrey Demunn being cast in the AMC adaption of TWD, we now have the sexy Sarah Wayne Callies being cast as Lori Grimes. I have no problem with this as Callies is a great actress and I loved her in Prison Break (other than that fact she died and they wrote her back in with a twist stupider that the whole "It was all a dream" Dallas episode!!!




The complaints have been flying in from various people that "don't like the look" of the people cast...............frankly who cares as long as they're good actors/actresses and the wardrobe and makeup artists make them up as they would be in the series. I'm sure they'll be complaints that the cast are "too pretty", but I don't wanna see ugly people on TV and getting eaten by zombies!!!

As I've already stated, Andrew Lincoln is a great British actor and will be great as Rick Grimes..........John Brenthal is an unknown to me, but he could at least look like Shane......and DeMunn is a decent enough actor and will be a great Dale (unless they decide to be retarded and start creating characters)

And for those of you that have already decided to stick to the comic as you'll know what's going to happen before it does...........see what the creator has already remarked on around this subject....

That's not going to happen.

From Kirkman himself:



I think this is going to be good............more when it comes in.
